Austria's Aim i'm the balkans.

PREMIER TISZAS DISCLOSURES WITH REGARD TO THE
EASTERN QUESTION.
In the lower house OF the Hungarian diet
Premier Tisza, replying to an Interpolation on a
statement in the North German Gazette, rela-
tive to the occupation Of Bosnia declared that the
aim OF Austria, prior to the Russo-Turkish war,
was to ameliorate the lot OF Christians in Turkey
and at the same time TO maintain the integrity OF
the Turkish empire. Finding that Russia was
bent upon war, the interests OF Austria caused
her to enter into negotiations with Russia for the
purpose or defining the circumstances under
Which Austria would be forced to abandon her
position OF neutrality.
During the progress Of the negotiations Austria
declared That she did not aim at the possession OF
Bosnia and herzegovina, but desired TO maintain
the supremacy OF Turkey there. In the event OF
this being impossible She would not allow any
power TO Interfere, but would herself OCCUPY the
provinces. The result was an agreement with
Russia, which was afterward communicated to
Germany as friendly power In the agreement
no mention was made of partition OF Turkey be-
tween Austria and Russia. 1t was not intended
10 form the basis or mutual action.
The peace OF San StefanO did not fulfill the
agreement and Austria, Therefore protested
against II, and the Berlin Congress was summoned
me altered conditions OF peace give Austria a
mandate OF occupation. During the whole course
or the negotiations Austria acted, as far as DOS
slble, with regard for the rights of Turkey and
never In hostile or egOt1Stic spirit toward any
one There was, therefore, no reason why the
agreement or its results should shake the good re-
latfOnS OF any power.

NIr. Beecher'S Last Clever Hit.

From the Brooklyn Earle.
The last hit Of Henry Ward Beecher's life was
provoked and received by Mr.. Coudert. He and
the Plymouth pastor were speakers at a high IL
cense meeting at Chickering Hall few nights be-
fore the latter's death. SMr Coudert was speaking
when Mr.. Beecher came in. Giving the applause
with which Mr. Beeeher was greeted time to sub
side, MIR. Coudert coupled liquor sellers and preach
ers as licensees OF the State" the one to sell
whisky, the other to Officate at weddings, Yet he
noticed that both these licenses were at odds on
the pending question. When MI. Beecher'S turn
came he gravely built uD series OF the distress
ing sights and experiences ministers are required
to meet with. He concluded startling array OF
them by grimly ptcturing the sense OF sorrow, hu-
initiation and danger minister is at times called
upon to feel II the daughter OF his house and heart
will persist in the shame and haZard-'Of marry
ing a lawyer, the only class licensed to make
money by securing divorces" The general i'm
preston was that Mr.. Beecher had the best of the
verbal duel, and no one laughed more heartily at
Mr.. COudert than Mr.. COudert himself.
